A Good Day To Die Hard , the fifth installment and fourth sequel in the legendary Die Hard franchise, may currently be in production, but that doesn't mean that the movie isn't done recruiting cast members.

The films of Whit Stillman are like the doodling of a well-born, eccentric amateur.

After the over-praised flicks Metropolitan and Last Days of Disco, writer and director Whit Stillman has returned-14 years later-with Damsels in Distress .

At Seven Oaks, a liberal arts college far removed from the Ivy League turf of Stillman's youth, the eternally optimistic Violet and her two soul sisters carry on trying to make everyone's life a little better.

With "Damsels in Distress," his fourth, funniest and most accessible film, writer-director Whit Stillman shakes off his "acquired taste" label.

"The Avengers" is likely to dominate the movie theaters this weekend. It's one of just two new movies opening locally.

Back with his first film in fourteen years, Whit Stillman still operates in a world of his own.

The Alamo Drafthouse South Lamar and the Arbor Cinemas at Great Hills is now showing Whit Stillman's new film, Damsels in Distress .

'Damsels in Distress,' with Greta Gerwig, Analeigh Tipton, Megalyn Echikunwoke, Carrie MacLemore, Adam Brody, Hugo Becker, Ryan Metcalf, Billy Magnussen.

Megalyn Echikunwoke as Rose, Carrie MacLemore as Heather, Greta Gerwig as Violet and Analeigh Tipton as Lily in Damsels in Distress .
